"There It Is": Narratives of the Vietnam War

This book provides a critical survey of the literature on the Vietnam War and is intended both for academic and general readers.Earlier works of this kind constantly recycled criticism of a half-dozen of the same works.In this study, the aim was to discuss a much greater number of works, including a few that have never been discussed.To appeal to non-academic readers, Lit-Crit jargon was kept to a minimum, and parallels with earlier works of war literature, especially those of the two world wars, were established.
